1) The yawning gap between the road and the building is sculpted to accommodate tree holes: notice the slight depressions in the dirt going up the left side of the gap.
2) Concrete moulds were constructed using wood boards. Rigobrto Aguiluz being gangsta.
3) The cross-beams on top ensure structure stability, so that when the heavy concrete is poured in it doesn't distort the form.
4) The concrete is poured into the moulds, a very exact science requiring many hands.
5) The concrete is allowed to dry.
6) Once dry, the wood frames are removed. Unfortunately, people who do appreciate the fine process of sidewalk construction have littered on these fine structures.
7) Voila! Finished sidewalk holes.
